Thriller Novel ‘Library of the Dead’ Headed for Small Screen Adaptation

The latest novel(s) to make the leap to the small screen, Variety reports, is Glenn Cooper’s Library of the Dead trilogy, which Lucisano Media Group and Federation Entertainment have signed a deal to co-develop and co-produce into a “high-end TV series.”

“The Library of the Dead trilogy features a New York-based FBI agent named Will Piper and involves a library situated under an ancient monastery where deadly secrets are concealed. Cooper’s books have been translated into 31 languages and sold over 6 million copies worldwide, and are particularly popular in Italy.”

Variety adds that “two prominent Italian screenwriters are writing a first series adaptation, which will be shopped around internationally with hopes of getting the show financed and greenlit next year.”
